[To the Editor of the SPECTATOR.] Sia,—Your correspondent, Mr. E.

K. C. Hamilton, in your last issue says that it is inaccurate to say that Reserva. tion is illegal, and that " the old Prayer Book makes no pro- vision for the practice, but nowhere explicitly forbids it." How does he explain the sixth rubric and the end of the Communion Service, which says : " if any remain of that which was consecrated, it shall not be carried out of the church, but the Priest, and such other of the communicants as he shall then call unto him, shall, immediately after the Blessing, reverently eat and drink the same " 2-1 am, Sir, &c., S. NUGENT PERRY.
